the backports for edgy/feisty are safer than using Debian 'unstable', so there is less need for this section
That command will also install the needed texlive packages for pdftex, metapost, etc. Let me (Sanjoy) know if you find anything broken.
== Edgy (6.10) ==
Use the backports given in the Feisty (7.04) section.

''I was able to install the libpoppler0c2 library, a recent texlive, and context 2007.04.17 on my laptop running Edgy simply by using the debian unstable repository. It seems to work fine. Backup your disk before mixing in packages from unstable.''

''I don't think this method will work much longer, if it even still works. The latest texlive packages in unstable require (for i386) a libc6 version >= 2.5-5, which is too recent even for feisty (by a tiny bit). Probably you can keep upgrading to newer context packages because they do not depend on libc6. But the pdftex and metapost binaries will not get updated (apt-get will hold back the packages that need a newer libc6). Backports from gutsy (7.10) are one option.''
